Our favorite times thus far is when she makes eye contact with us and it seems like the world outside of that moment stops. Her face tells a story and her squirming legs and arms just add to the narration. She definitely takes after mom and dad both since she loves to eat and seems to be a busy body except at night (fingers crossed!). We just love to watch her whether she be resting peacefully, actively watching the surroundings, vigorously feeding or wiggling around.
Her birthday was extra special since both sets of grandparents could be in the waiting room to hear the good news of Teagan's arrival! They were accompanied by Tiltges aunts and uncles. She came a week late (due date of August 27, 2011) so the waiting room was anxious and overjoyed to hear the news from Rick even in the wee hours of the morning! The nurses got a kick out of their enthusiasm. Cousin Ryker and Teagan are exactly 4 months apart!
I must also mention that the song following her birth (randomly selected by Pandora on the iPad) was Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help from my Friends" (written by Paul McCartney). This song used to remind me of my crush on Kevin Arnold from "The Wonder Years" but now will bring me back to those first few minutes in the labor and delivery room we spent with Teagan. We would soon be surrounded by family and friends that would shower our new family with love. We had already fallen madly in love by the time Cocker sang "Would you believe in a love at first sight? Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time"
What an amazing journey we have been through since the early days of pregnancy into the early weeks of parenthood. Rick and I feel like we are so fortunate to have our daughter in our arms and we can say with huge smiling faces that life as we know it will never be the same!
So much more to come! Until then...
XO,
EAT
